Construction work: Difficulty getting to the Parc from the Jacques-Cartier Bridge

March 17 to April 30, 2019

Due to construction work on the Jacques Cartier Bridge, the access ramp to Parc Jean-Drapeau (heading toward the South Shore) will be closed from Sunday March 17 (11 p.m.) to Tuesday, April 30 (5 a.m.). Only the access ramp heading toward Montréal will be open to vehicular traffic. A detour and road signs will be set up shortly. Cyclists will be able to get to Parc Jean-Drapeau by using the Concorde Bridge from Montréal or by using the Saint-Lambert locks from the South Shore.

Sustainable development

In 2009, Société du parc Jean-Drapeau launched its first sustainable development policy, which reflects a desire by the entire organization to do more and to do it better. With the theme Choosing for the Future, sustainable development at Parc Jean-Drapeau encompasses economic, social and environmental concerns, mindful of meeting the needs of current and future generations, so that cohesive, effective and sustainable decisions can be made.

Sustainable development at Parc Jean-Drapeau also means offsetting greenhouse gas emissions to improve the quality of air and build a healthy, sustainable future for the Park. In addition to its centres of activity, nearly 100 major public events are held on its grounds each year. Société du parc Jean-Drapeau has thus created the Fonds Oxygène to offset the CO2 generated by daily activities and major events. The initiatives financed by this fund will ensure that natural resources are used in a sustainable manner.
